The challenge of restricting unethical behavior requires public companies to reinforce ethical practices among leaders through various instruments. Previous research suggests that the (un)ethical behavior of leaders can be influenced by many situational factors. This study aimed to investigate the influence of ethics training and education on unethical leadership behavior in the Algerian public companies.
Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 leaders from public companies in Algeria. Data analysis was facilitated using ATLAS. ti 8 qualitative analysis software.
The findings show that public companies in Algeria suffer from several issues related to leaders' ethics training and education. The findings also indicate that some of these unethical leadership behaviors are the result of ineffective training programs and poor ethics education within public companies.
The absence or ineffectiveness of ethics training and education within and outside organizational settings has a detrimental impact on leaders' ethical character. This study is the first to explore how public companies in Algeria engage in ethical training and leadership education. The different sectors of the Algerian business can use the findings as a point of reference to embed the appropriate ethical climate in their respective organizations.
限制不道德行为的挑战要求上市公司通过各种手段加强领导者的道德行为。先前的研究表明，领导者的（不）道德行为会受到许多情境因素的影响。本研究旨在调查道德培训与教育对阿尔及利亚上市公司不道德领导行为的影响。
通过对阿尔及利亚15家上市公司的领导者进行半结构化访谈收集数据。使用ATLAS.ti 8定性分析软件进行数据分析。
研究结果表明，阿尔及利亚的上市公司在领导者的道德培训与教育方面存在若干问题。研究结果还表明，这些不道德领导行为中的一些是上市公司培训项目无效和道德教育不足的结果。
组织内部和外部道德培训与教育的缺失或无效对领导者的道德品质有不利影响。本研究首次探讨了阿尔及利亚的上市公司如何开展道德培训和领导力教育。阿尔及利亚商业的不同部门可以将研究结果作为参考，在各自组织中营造适当的道德氛围。
